Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

With RFK Jr. leading HHS, the spread of misinformation at the highest levels of govt is a real threat to public health. But science still exists. Here’s what you can do:
1. Follow and support science communicators
2. Advocate for evidence-based policies
3. Stay engaged and push for accountability

Humans are very weird and mostly do things because the people around them do them. This is true for me and you and everyone.
Interpreting bland, default human weirdnesses as repugnant, intentional immoralities will 100% make you miserable while alienating people from your ideas.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I assume that most Canadians are unaware that the National Post and Postmedia Network is no longer Canadian owned, and that the 2/3 owner since 2016, Chatham Asset Management LLC, has close ties to the current Trump administration.

It’s funny when people like Dana White romanticize being a dysfunctional and damaged man based on 1950s men who were traumatized in WW2. Emotions, empathy, reason, will, compassion are all faculties of the brain. He’s essentially bragging about being mentally incompetent.
